[00:00:02] artist: nas

[00:00:03] album: god's son

[00:00:03] song: the cross

[00:00:18] i carry the cross, if virgin mary had an abortion

[00:00:20] i'd still be carried in the chariot by stampeding horses

[00:00:23] had to bring it back to new york

[00:00:25] i'm happy that the streets is back in new york

[00:00:27] for you rappers, i carry the cross

[00:00:29] i carry the cross, if virgin mary had an abortion

[00:00:32] i'd still be carried in the chariot by stampeding horses

[00:00:35] had to bring it back to new york

[00:00:37] i'm happy that the streets is back in new york

[00:00:39] for you rappers, i carry the cross

[00:00:41] y'all can keep y'all weak beats, from your corny producers

[00:00:44] there's a new king of the streets, you're gonna get used to

[00:00:47] i was the old king of the streets, that y'all once hated

[00:00:50] but now i reinvented myself, and y'all all waited

[00:00:53] nas, n.a.s. mean niggaz against society

[00:00:56] noisy i aim not silently, noose all surroundin me

[00:00:58] i hang 'em i string 'em up ain't no thing i just drop 'em

[00:01:01] to which doctor you copped and you locked and it ain't what it was

[00:01:04] i changed it up from that pop s**t it's hard to see r&b

[00:01:07] rappers arguably, started f**kin up the game horribly

[00:01:10] cause, i parted the sea, then these novices targetted me

[00:01:14] bitches infatuated say they love me lyin to me

[00:01:17] what i've discovered is my brother's tryin to be

[00:01:19] the next me, yeah i support him but he's blinded i see

[00:01:22] jealousy he love me to death am i buggin i love him for life

[00:01:26] we both still mournin on our mother's, life

[00:01:28] and i don't need much but a dutch, a B***h to f**k

[00:01:31] a six, a truck, some guns to bust

[00:01:33] i wish it was that simple, the last emperor, hit yo' ass

[00:01:36] with the nasty nas, diary, get out my path

[00:01:40] i carry the cross, if virgin mary had an abortion

[00:01:42] i'd still be carried in the chariot by stampeding horses

[00:01:47] i'm happy that the streets is back in new york

[00:01:49] for you rappers, i carry the cross

[00:01:51] i carry the cross, if virgin mary had an abortion

[00:01:54] i'd still be carried in the chariot by stampeding horses

[00:01:57] had to bring it back to new york

[00:01:59] i'm happy that the streets is back in new york

[00:02:01] for you rappers, i carry the cross

[00:02:03] i can't keep a B***h cause none of them come up for a little less

[00:02:06] i can't be too rich, too many hoes, lined up for sex

[00:02:09] i can't rest until my niggaz in houses with pretty maids

[00:02:11] water and flowers in 'em

[00:02:13] while my niggaz walk around in they trousers grinnin

[00:02:15] gotta keep a lot of heat; 30 cals 10 millimeters

[00:02:19] 40 cals plus the heckler, to set y'all straight

[00:02:22] you too light? i shoot your freckles out

[00:02:24] you too dark? the infrared show you what the tec about

[00:02:26] huh? i'm stressin out, need more offices for bosses

[00:02:29] secretaries and meetings with big sharks, who mad greedy

[00:02:32] we can sell mo', boats on the coast

[00:02:34] give, coats to the po' and give, hope to the broke then live low

[00:02:38] but that ain't reality, i look happy but under the sky

[00:02:41] you see a n***a who know, out of three women 2 out of 3

[00:02:44] will love you but lead you to they own, hidden evil

[00:02:47] bitch! you the reason niggaz be beefin, hoe get on

[00:02:50] 'posed to be earth, ain't worth the P***y that you sit on

[00:02:52] from here on, it's a new day

[00:02:54] million dollars ain't, what it was yesterday

[00:02:57] many problems, many niggaz, most involved but they fake

[00:02:59] hope y'all relate

[00:03:02] i carry the cross, if virgin mary had an abortion

[00:03:06] i'd still be carried in the chariot by stampeding horses

[00:03:08] had to bring it back to new york

[00:03:10] i'm happy that the streets is back in new york

[00:03:11] for you rappers, i carry the cross

[00:03:13] i carry the cross, if virgin mary had an abortion

[00:03:16] i'd still be carried in the chariot by stampeding horses

[00:03:19] had to bring it back to new york

[00:03:21] i'm happy that the streets is back in new york
